Ron Mitchell

Dulwich Hamlet are mourning the passing of one of their most loyal supporters, Ron Mitchell, who died on Friday aged 81 after a long and courageous battle against Parkinson’s Disease. Ron had been associated with Dulwich Hamlet for more than half a century and along with wife Pat, had been instrumental in running the Supporters’ Club. Those supporters who travelled on the Supporters coaches in the seventies and eighties will know how much effort Ron put into the Supporters’ Club and his love of the Hamlet. Even when ill health prevented him making as many visits to Champion Hill as he would have liked his enthusiasm for Dulwich never waned. He leaves behind a widow Pat and children John & Susan.
